About the Role

We’re looking for a sharp, hands-on Management Trainee to work directly with the Founder’s Office. This isn’t a shadowing role - you’ll be embedded in live business problems from week one, working across new product development, go-to-market, marketplaces, and supply chain/operations.

It’s built for someone who wants high-intensity, high-visibility generalist exposure at an early-stage D2C brand, with a clear opportunity to move into a permanent role based on performance and mutual fit.

What you'll do

- New Product Development: Support ideation, market research, and category benchmarking; coordinate with design and vendor partners to move concepts from brief to sample to shelf-ready.
- Go-to-Market: Support launch strategies for new products and categories — positioning, pricing inputs, channel sequencing, and launch calendars.
- Marketplaces: Manage and optimize listings across Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, etc.; track catalog health, pricing, promotions, ad spends, and performance.




- Operations & Supply Chain: Work with vendors and logistics partners to track production, inventory, and fulfilment; identify and help resolve bottlenecks.
- Planning: Build and maintain trackers, dashboards, and reports that give founders visibility into performance across functions.
- Founder Support: Take ownership of ad-hoc, cross-functional projects from zero to one, acting as an extension of the founder’s bandwidth.

What we’re looking for

- Recent MBA graduate with 0-1 years of full-time work experience post-MBA or equivalent.
- Strong working knowledge of and genuine interest in NPD, GTM, marketplaces, operations, supply chain, and planning.
- You don’t need to be an expert in all of them, but should be comfortable learning quickly and going deep.
- High ownership mentality and comfort with ambiguity, tight timelines, and shifting priorities.
- Strong analytical and Excel/Google Sheets skills; comfortable building trackers and working with data.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact directly with founders, vendors, and marketplace partners.
- Bias for action - someone who would rather try, learn, and iterate than wait for the perfect plan.

Why join

- Direct access to the founders and real decision-making - not a rotational or observer program.
- Broad, cross-functional exposure across the core levers of a growing D2C brand.
- Live business problems and ownership from day one.
- A clear, merit-based opportunity to transition into a permanent role after 6 months.
